Charlie Ngatai’s concussion symptoms are easing, but the Chiefs midfielder is set to be sidelined for another week, and miss the Super Rugby clash against the Blues in Auckland on Friday night.
After his year out following a head knock last season, Ngatai missed the match against the Crusaders in Fiji last Friday after reporting a headache post‑training last Monday.
The team played it safe and kept him from travelling with the squad overseas the following day.
The Chiefs will take on the Blues at 7.35pm Friday.
The Highlanders play the Waratahs at 7.35pm Saturday while the Rebels host the undefeated Crusaders at 9.35pm.
